Wrong, wrong, wrong and ................incorrect too!

DASnet is a for-fee service ($$$) that links many commercial email systems
around the world.  Since it is for-fee, either the sender or recipient must
be a Subscriber.  The address "user@dcibix.das.net" can only be used by
DASnet subscribers to reach anyone at BIX.  Individual BIX users who are
DASnet subscribers have an individual domain address.  this would have to
be given by them, as any message from a non-Subscriber would be 'collect'.
